The leaderboard is wrong – what can I do?
If you spot a problem, first check the list of missing results and that you and your horse are eligible. Then simply email teamquest@britishdressage.co.uk to resolve any problems. Remember that only your points from your best five placings count towards your team’s leaderboard points and the leaderboards only get updated once per week!
